My first few years working professionally were with small startups with fewer than 10 employees. I was exposed to every detail of digital product work. I learned a ton, especially about my own strengths and weaknesses.

Last year I joined a large organization (~250) inside an even larger company (~30k). But my team, the folks I work with every day, is still small, like 10ish. So it still feels nimble, and many hats are still worn, but the pace is more relaxed. Except when it isn't haha.

I'm not really sure how I'd like working on a larger functional team... To be one of 10+ designers for a single product, supported by dozens of engineers. Anyone able to comment about what that's like?
